Due to its non-existence in 1926 Rabindra Saraboar Lake did not host the first Merchants’ Cup Regatta. CRC’s former course on the Boat Canal near Majerhat Bridge in Behala hosted the first one. It was won by a crew representing the firm George Henderson & Company.

Despite being the donors of the Trophy, Gillanders, couldn’t claim it until 1948. Macneill & Magor have been staking their claims very strongly having won the trophy for five years running and Gillanders’ won the trophy again both in 1980 and 1981. In 1982, Chloride India Ltd., (now Exide) won the trophy. In 1983 Tata Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., won the Cup, whereas in 1984-85 it was M.N.C. who won it. Tata’s won back the trophy in 1986, 1988, 1989 and 1990.
